Yandere Dark Elf, Episode 2 — Spicy Jealous JK Cosplay!

Mariabelle joins Hinata at school, but her jealousy intensifies when she spots him with another girl!

Episode 2 — “Academy Life”

Yandere Dark Elf Makes Me Go Hmm.

Ecchi fanservice comedy is always the slapstick variety. It’s true! One show, To LOVE-Ru, based its comedy on ever-increasing Rube Goldberg-type situations to devise removing girls’ clothing and inserting the luckily clumsy hero between their body parts. In Fire Force, Tamaki is the butt of a recurring gag to explain how her clothes keep flying off. But why does anime always have to “accidentally” undress sexy girls? Intent. Becoming naked on purpose in front of someone moves a scene up the steps to adulthood. That’s Mariabelle’s goal in Yandere Dark Elf for Hinata, which the doujins happily explored. But its manga adaptation, from which this anime comes, keeps things slapstick. It’s annoying, but I have a wrinkle on how it irks me.

Shonen titles often use battle damage to slowly undress the fit female forms, like the aggressive Queen’s Blade or the lighter fare from Hiro Mashima (Fairy Tail, Edens Zero). But outside of the action-adventure scenes, comedy gags undressed the sexy girls. The most common plot device is tripping or slipping. But it makes no sense for military and combat heroes! How could a trained fighter trip on her own shoes? Or how could a falling girl’s body pin a martial artist to the floor? Even in Yandere Dark Elf, Hinata, the isekai hero who could dash and jump around holding a sword, fell victim to the mightiest weapon in anime. White panties to the face. Come on! Unbelievable.

Heh.

Sure, Hinata. Mariabelle “fell off” the bed to snuggle with you. What a way to wake up! Morning nip-slip! And a morning booby flash! Reluctant cherry boy energy will grow old fast in Yandere Dark Elf. Embrace the new normal, Hinata!

When will Mariabelle become Hinata’s housewife? He’s still doing all the cooking and cleaning. Mariabelle acts like a hikikomori NEET with emotional trauma. Almost understandable. She claims dark elves have extra empathic powers, so she wants to avoid the negatively accusatory stares humans usually direct at her. I doubt Japanese people would do that to a dark-skinned, beautiful young lady with pointy ears. But Mariabelle likes the fluffy, warm feelings from Hinata! Uh oh. She stuck dark magic on the back of his head. Yandere Dark Elf couldn’t avoid the crazy possessiveness for too long.

Here we go. Sakura and Hinata will cause a misunderstanding in the library. Will she reveal her attraction to him? It’s too early in the season for that. Meanwhile, Mariabelle learns about school from reference books. That place takes away her “Hinata Time!” Ah. She stuck a talisman on him to spy on his activities. Yup, she’s a yandere dark elf. Have a ripe white peach in your face! What is Sakura doing? Oh, right. The isekai hero, trained in martial arts and combat, is clumsy enough to let a high school girl pin him to the ground. Sigh. And there’s no time left for Sakura to confess her crush. Hinata needs to rush home to cook dinner! Yeah, but he’ll have an extra spicy side dish from a yandere dark elf when he arrives.

The Yandere Dark Elf Cosplay Transfer Student

Ack! It’s Sadako from The Ring with pointy ears and sexy, tan flesh! Jealousy is scary! Mariabelle’s oppressive love falls short of justifying spying on Hinata. He’s not a pet that needs a tracking chip. Her solution? Going to school with him. I hope Sakura survives Mariabelle’s first day of school.

Hahaha! Mariabelle has no chill. She told the class she’s a dark elf from another world! But it’s okay because Hinata’s classmates accept it as quirky cosplay. And sexy. Those white thigh-highs accentuating the yandere dark elf’s tan thigh flesh in the zettai ryouiki… Hnngghh! Hoho. Hinata’s school is so lax. The transfer process was so easy that Mariabelle avoided brainwashing anyone. Now she can have a lovey-dovey lunchtime with her almost-boyfriend. Oh no. Don’t get in Mariabelle’s way, Sakura! Yes. This is the white peach that Sakura pushed into Hinata’s face! That whore used her seductive curves to charm him! Time to die! Ooh. Mariabelle made Hinata angry. The poor yandere dark elf can’t handle scolding from him.

Yandere Dark Elf Can’t Resist Otaku Power

Dark elves feel others’ feelings flow through them, so Mariabelle hoped she would only feel happy, positive emotions from Hinata. Whoa. Did Sakura become brave enough to confront Mariabelle? No. Sakura asked about magic instead! She’s so delighted to learn Mariabelle can use magic! The transfer student really is a yandere dark elf from another world! Sakura is an otaku. Wait until she finds out that Hinata was the hero who defeated the demon lord… Mariabelle’s first friend is her love rival. Of course! Sakura can call her “Belle” like Hinata does.

Mariabelle holds a Hinata plushie while a much larger one cradles her in the end credits. Happiness.

Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World! (Chotto dake Ai ga Omoi Dark Elf ga Isekai kara Oikakete Kita) streams on Hidive in the “least censored” web version in Japanese audio and English subtitles. These reviews will rely on the uncensored AnimeFesta versions.

Do you like Mariabelle’s school uniform design? Her skirt is short enough, and her white thigh-highs are low enough, but her top covers too much. Oh well. Mariabelle is not a gyaru dark elf. What changes would you make? Let us know in the comments below!
